Less than ten miles from Sandringham, this castle offers you a slice of royal luxury, if only for a while. It's impossible not to be impressed by the surrounding moat and imposing gatehouse – and that's before you get to the wood-panelled dining room, immense fireplaces, and elegant stained-glass windows. As you'd expect from so grand a residence, there are numerous spots to unwind and take in the countryside views, including four reception rooms and a snooker room – a glass of whisky and a game, anyone? The landscaped gardens are undoubtedly worth a wander – and with a barbecue and firepit, you can entertain outdoors, too. Eager to explore Norfolk? You're just fifteen minutes from King's Lynn.

Home truths
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
While not all the bathrooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
This is a historic, lived-in home, so there may be some uneven floors and steps. Guests with reduced mobility should take care.
There's an unfenced moat here, as well as expensive artwork and ornaments, so it might not be the best choice if you're travelling with young children.

About Norfolk
With a coastline defined as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Norfolk Broads boasting National Park status, there’s plenty to keep nature lovers occupied in Norfolk. Great Yarmouth enjoys the best of both worlds where a long beach provides days of paddling in the shallows and wandering the promenade, ice-cream in hand.
